Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Clos Dominic Vinyes Baixes is medium purple with a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Carignan and Picapoll Negre is quite impressive. Enticing aromas of wild berries, gently wrapped by notions of toast, Jamaican pepper, vanilla, balsam, menthol and aniseed. Later, we perceive notes of tobacco, toffee and, all along the way, some deep mineral undertones. |
| Palate | Smoother than one might think, this wine of Clos Dominic also has a very solid skeleton and ripe, yummy tannins. Fruit is of great quality, and the notions of spices, balsam and underbush add complexity to the wine. This Crianza red wine has a savoury acidity and a long, mineral finish. |
| Our personal opinion | A sensational, reasonably priced Priorat, the wine Clos Dominic Vinyes Baixes 2021 delivers immense pleasure. |

Priorat red
Traditional-style Priorat, full of character and very intense. You can almost lick the stones here. Very nice.
